Oregon State (28-26) got into the Tuscalooosa (Alabama) regional, Friday through Sunday. The Vikings 44 wins is a school record and their NSIC tournament championship is their second in school history.

The fourth-seeded Florida State Men’s Golf team begins its NCAA postseason run when it participates in regional play beginning Monday, May 14, at Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club in Norman, Okla. The Sooners have hosted a regional in each of the last eight years. The Texans defeated West Texas A&M 15-7 Saturday afternoon in Canyon to earn the automatic bid into the tournament.
